Trump says he believes Iran's supreme leader has approved deal with US

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday ‌said ⁠he ⁠believed Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had approved a deal with the U.S. that would trigger the opening of the ⁠Strait of ‌Hormuz and the lifting of ⁠a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

When asked by a reporter at the White House whether Khamenei had approved the deal, Trump said: "I understand ‌the answer is yes."

Trump described the deal as "a very ⁠strong memorandum of understanding," adding it was "a little conceptual, but it's something that's going to get done".
